Emma Watson: 'Karl Lagerfeld bought me a fishing rod'

Emma Watson has revealed that Karl Lagerfeld bought her a fishing rod for her 18th birthday.

The actress was delighted with the gift that she described as "beautiful" because it was clear that the Chanel designer had put a lot of thought into what to give her.

Watson, 22, told Glamour magazine of the fishing rod: "It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

"It's actually my dad who's the fly-fisher in the family but what was so sweet was that Karl had obviously done some research, seen that I'd once donated to the Wild Trout Trust or something similar and thought this was something I would love.

"I've never used it, but it's such a beautiful object - one of the best things I've ever been sent."

The Harry Potter actress also spoke about keeping friendships going along with her busy schedule.

She added: "You have to work to maintain relationships when you're constantly away, but when my best friends and I get together it doesn't feel like a day has passed."
